10/10 Excellent

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication
Beautiful property!! absolutely stunning and enjoying going bush bashing around the property and exploring! The only downside to the property is i think the condition of the driveway ought to be mentioned to people in advance, as our little hatchback had a lot of trouble getting through and we definitely scraped the car a few times, i think a medium to large car would be ok. the finishing touches were beautiful, the position of the deck for the view, all of it was beautiful! Thanks for letting us stay.
